Be it known that l. Anser. WYson'u, :.1 ("itizvn. of thi Vuitefl States. residing in, the oily ol' Los nucles. vouuly of Los Angeles. Stati of California. have invented or diseovei'ed :i new :imi useful Proves.; in Producing Fuel; for internal-tomhusriou Engines. of whirl". the Following' ii spoilitieution.

l VHerefofore in imi-rml vomhustiou engines it has been necessnrj: `to use liquidhydrocarbon fuel of a ligfhi ggrm'ity in order that it could he red in the i-)flindirs ot the enA ginas, and to that end the common practice hasheen to use gasolene o? u fairly high grade. l have discorer'eil (hat l :fan use :i grade of hydro-carbon liquid. of lower grade than the lowest. grade of gzisolone and can also use any grade of gaeolene h v combiningr or mixing with such fuel und nii' a `due proportion of aceylene ins as thev 'fuel is drawn into the engine Cylinders., haw discovered that the introiilurtion of acetylene gas with the hjs'fli'orurln'm fuel 21nd nir ein aliles the ninss if'. he fired or exploded. 1 have discovered that if the mixture ot' nir, fuel :md acetylene gras is thoroughly broken up and :itemized Lmd comningled before it. enters the cylinders it. produces better le suits than if not thoroughly atomized. l have `also discovered that heiter results 'tre obtained hy commingling' and atomizing with the h'ydrorarhon fuel. oir and Water und acetylene 'in ih@ drawings forming a. part of this; uppiiuetion. have iilnsl'rnted an apparatus in .vhieh the hydroearbon 'fuel and Water and air und lhe acetylene :1re atoniized and conuuinygled before being admit-ted into the' cylinders.

Referring'. to the drawings:

Fig'. 2 is e. ventral vertical section of the nerhuretei' used in pmvtieingf my invention;

Fig. 3 is :i l'iotioin plan of the carhureter;

iieferring to Fig. 1, the usual parts of e. stationery explosion engine romprising r: Enders. pistons and intake and exhaust Serial No. 698,554.

manilolds and connected and operativo parte are used. The carbureter 10 is illustmtefl in Fig. 2- and comprises a casing,- l1 in one side of which isliquid fuel chainlwr l2 which is Connected by pipe 13 with mail; Il in whieh is Carried the hydrofarhon fuel liquid. salve 15 operated hy lever lo regulates the 4admission of liquid into Chaunwr 12. Lever 16 is controlled by the Celluloid hull float 17 to Cut 0H the.. flow of liquid into Chamber 12 Whenit rises to u. predetermined height. f

port l5? connects with channel .lwvhich opens ihrougrh port Q0 into the Wheel chainhor 21. regnilnting valve 22 controls the flow of' liquid through port 20. [u the other side ot Pasing 11 is a Water Chmnbrr 2?. uliirh is conm-stad by pipe 24 with tank '25 in Awhich is carried the. water supply. A valve .26 operated hy lever 27 refmlat-es the admission ot' water into chamber 23. Lever '2i' is rfmtroiled h v the relluloid hull lient QS to vut of? the flow oi"- water into chamber lf3 when it rises to .1 predetermined height. A port counevts with chamber 3() which opens through port 11 into Wheelohzinaher 21. vulve .'12 controls the flow of Writer through port 21. Channels 19 and 30 are in weh. 5?, on the bottom of (fusing: 11. Air ports 34 open through the bottoni of casing 11 into ehiun'her 21. A shaft S5 projects through the bottom of casing 11 and hns a nut 36 :ind :i loc-knut- 37. Shaft 35 may huw :i ehamlier 3S in the side thereof for the reieptiou oi screw 3S) to prevent shaft 35S from rotating. Ou shaft- 35 and Within eham'oer 21 is Valve which when the engine is not. operating closes ports 20' and 3l. Revoluhly mounted on shaft 35 are the ntomizing wheels 41 and 42 which are provided on the periphery thereof With helical vanos 43 and 44 which are reversely "pitched as to euch other. The top of Wheel 42 is dished :ind-has ports 45 therein to lend :my liquid which muy pass the wheels una-tomized onto Wheel 41. Rigidlv mounted on shaft. 35 is n huh 46 from which extends upwzirdlyA and slightly :ingulurly blades 47. These blades extend into the int-Alreinanifold 48 und their z-inguhu'ity is the reverse of the pitch of the runes of wheel 42, 1Munifold 48 hns n throttle vulve 19 which is operated in the usual manner. Between valve 49 and the engine cylinders is ai vulve ohiunber 50' in which is mounted valve 51.

Valve. 5l operates mi n cheek to prevent, hac-k l'ire from reaching the carburetor :ind to direct the fuel from the enrlnneier :ii-rms ports 52. A collar 53 :sr/rows upon shrill 54 on which shrill vulve 5l is rnrriod und tensions spring 55 to hold vulve 51 us lirnily on its seatl :is is desired.
